We're NUTS for BIRDS!

Healthy Bird Nutrition...in a Nutshell

In nature, birds eat what they find: tree nuts, fruits, grains, flowers, and the occasional vegetable. Pet birds should eat as natural a diet as possible, too.

We are proud of our inexpensive, simple nuts, fruits and seeds — and bird owners swear by them! Here are suggestions for some popular species. (Just remember that bird diets must include more than just seeds and nuts, and that they definitely cannot eat the human treats we sell like chocolate and coffee!)

Fun and Playful Feeding Tips

We know that birds love to crack our nuts in their beaks and pick out the tasty morsels inside. But you can make snacktime even more delicious for your bird. Here are some great ideas.

• Put the nuts in foraging toys. This could be as simple as putting a couple of almonds (or nut of choice) in a small cardboard box and letting the bird work to get the nut out of the box. Shredding the box is a fun activity for many birds (especially parrot-type birds) and then they find the reward — a yummy nut! Thanks to The Conure Handbook author Anne C. Watkins for this great tip!

nuts about nuts
my ricco luvs his almonds,we are like everyone else they are so hard to find this time of year.thanks for your website.

I thought you might enjoy a picture of Zazu eating his NutsOnline Walnut this morning

Zazu loves his walnuts!
Service was fantastic from the time I placed my order, to the very short time it took to receive my shipment. I have an Umbrella Cockatoo who loves Walnuts (in shell only) and had just enjoyed his last one. I was frantic to locate more for him even though they are out-of-season. NutsOnline came through for me in a quick and efficient manner. Zazu, my Cockatoo is a happy bird! Thanks for the great service and quality product I received!

This is my bird Zusya after eating some delicious brazils!

My keet luvs Brazils!
It's really weird but I think my parakeet likes Brazil nuts. Usually these birds prefer peanuts but in this case, I think my parakeet is just taking after its owner! Just wanted to pass along this tip that everyone should try feeding Brazils to your parakeets!

Here's my macaw chowing down on a tasty nut!

My macaw and I wanted to thank you!
Thank you!! My nephew has a blue and gold macaw who loves his walnuts, pecans, peanuts, and most of all pistachios. It is hard to find walnuts and pecans this time of year and all of the pistachios are salted. Thank you for offering a wide variety of quality unsalted nuts that arrived in a matter of two days. I thank you, my sister thanks you, my nephew thanks you, and most of all, Zebra (the macaw) thanks you. I am sure we will be back to order more nuts in the future.
